Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has called for an end to violence in all forms against girls and women across the country. "We must choose to end violence against all persons, especially women and girls.
This in whatever form it may take: whether human trafficking, domestic violence, accusations of witchcraft and the resulting instant justice, child marriage, female genital mutilation, or sexual violence," she said.
Delivering the keynote address at a dialogue to mark the International Women's Day in Accra on Saturday, Vice President Prof.
Opoku-Agyemang, noted that it was only when the violence against girls stopped that they would grow to become the worthy women the society wants them to be.
